"A freaking riot.... Kudos to Harold Cook."
Evan Smith
Editor-In-Chief
Texas Monthly Magazine

"Harold Cook may be hazardous to your health…I have very real concerns that this blog is dangerous to the physical safety of Texas progressives."
Mary Mapes
Former Producer
"60 Minutes" - CBS News

"...our favorite political soothsayer and comedy stylist (well, next to Karl Rove)..."
Wayne Slater
Senior Political Writer
Dallas Morning News

"Harold Cook, who once tried to run over one of my reporters with a van full of senators, has now decided to run over everyone in sight with his new blog...."
R.G. Ratcliffe
Capitol Bureau Reporter
Houston Chronicle

"[Cook] is just twisted. And I mean that in the nicest way possible. Sort of. Laugh uproariously when it's really freakin funny .... And shake your head, eyes covered, when it's just too...too...too."
Karen Brooks
Capitol Bureau Reporter

Buzz from the TV show - Doggett in the crosshairs

On this week's episode of Capital Tonight on YNN, the conversation turned to Congressional redistricting, and specifically to the effects of the new Republican map to Central Texas and Congressman Lloyd Doggett.

It's your turn: let me know what you think in the comments section. Meanwhile, the entire episode, which also features an extended interview with Senator Wendy Davis, will air in Austin this Sunday morning at 11 am on YNN, or you can go here to watch it online.

Update: Even if you have no comment, I encourage you to visit the comments section, if for no other reason than to not miss Whiskeydent's song lyrics.
